I've gone through a lot of stuff in my life so far. There are stories I haven't really been able to tell.

I was going to make movies. I was the one in the family who was always rolling the video camera, making movies of my brothers around town, and then screening them for my parents. I still would love to make movies someday that's something that really means a lot to me, and I know I'll have the chance to do it one day.

A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say, 'Look, it's not that tough. It's not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.'

I think people have been really receptive to understanding that I've grown up and the music's going to sound a little different.

Nothing has that fire we feel when we're onstage.

I did other stuff before then, but I was sexually active at 20. I'm glad I waited for the right person, because you look back and you go, 'That girl was bats– crazy. I'm glad I didn't go there.'

If it's the first kiss, it's important for the eyes to be closed so you know it's real. It's almost like a Disney movie!
